Mrs. Brown: What's the meaning of goodness if there isn't a little badness to overcome?
Trivia: "King Charles," the horse that played Velvet's thoroughbred gelding, the "Pie," was a grandson colt of the famous American racehorse, Man O' War. After the movie, "King Charles" was given to Elizabeth Taylor, who played Velvet. She kept him for the rest of his life.
